Hanoi Old Quarter in Pictures

Hanoi Old Quarter in Pictures is one way of showing how much I enjoyed exploring this beautiful place during my visit here in 2010. Spending over nine days in Halong Bay and here, I was totally fascinated with how life was here.

As it was my first ever trip to Vietnam, I had heard about terrible traffic and communication issues but little did I know that it astounded me more than it frustrated me. Anyway, if given the chance to re-visit Hanoi, I would do it without thinking as there is so much more I would like to explore there as five days here was not enough.

Please note that all these photos of Hanoi were taken with my Nikon D60 in 2011, in the early days of digital photography. I am not a professional, but simply enjoy taking travel photos whenever I explore a new place.

I also have another series of photographs of Hanoi Old Quarter at Night taken while I explore the city at night. Sometimes the night provides different views of the city compared with the day.

You can also read my other related articles about Hanoi, Vietnam. For those traveling here, you may want to spend some time exploring the areas here. There is much to see and do especially if you are a photographer.

Do check out some of the back lanes and the best way to do this is by foot. Vietnamese people are very friendly but please always ask permission before you point a camera at them. Some of the best places to visit are actually in the main town area and here is where you will get good shots of Hanoi Old Quarter in Pictures.
